Lexitronic Principles

Lexitronics is concerned with the teaching and learning of vocabulary, making the maximum use of the new technologies within a collaborative environment.

It is based on the following fundamental principles:

  1. Learning the most useful vocabulary is fundamental to success.
  2. Vocabulary has its own grammar; grammar is vocabulary.
  3. The acquisition of an extensive and in-depth vocabulary is the foundation of successful language learning.
  4. Linguistic competence is defined by the depth of awareness and use of lexico-grammatical patterns. 
  5. Self-directed and collaborative learning are key concepts in language development.
  6. Technology must be embraced, but within a sound pedagogical framework.
